something New in RaiIroading.

The much talked of "vestibuled train"
George Pullman's latest conception, is
attracting much favorable attention.
The platform of each car is smaller than
that of the ordinary car, and it is COW
cred with structure that looks like
big omen sentinel's box. When two cars
are brought together these two boxes
meet. and vestibule is formed, so that
insrcad of walking, or rather driving,
across bounding, swaying PLATFORM
one crosses from one car to another as
easily as from one room TO another
through passage way. The boxes con-
sist of broad thick frames of steel. like
huge inverted oX-bows, which are sup
ported by strong, elastic pressure. de-
rived from springs. These springs bear
against the top and sides of the steel
frame, as we'll as against the solid tim
bers composing the platforms of the
cars and the upper part of the super
structure. When two cars are brought
together the springs cause the frames
of the vestibule to stick together firmly,
and so no dirt or wind gets in. In going
around curves vulcanized rubber placed
in the frames admits of the necessary
bending. The vestibule also, to great
extent, prevents oscillation, and Mr..
Pullman, OH the strength of this. has
opened a barber's shop in the composite
car, where young and tender man had
his beard shaved without particle of
harm being done, and the train was
going at the rate of fifty miles an hour,
too. This is The first barber shop on a
train and it is great success.

GEN. BADEAU is given to much writ
ing of war history, and like most Of such
writer's in these latter days he gets some
of his facts sadly awry. He recently
wrote that after the war General Robert
E. Lee was in actual want, and lived off
of supplies furnished by the govern
ment. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has made a
statement in which he conclasively
proves that Gen. Badeau states an I'M
truth, but we suppose that as long as
war history is written imagination viii.
be drawn on more or less.
